The Volunteer Soldier of America.

Mir. E. W. Smith sn old time Arizona miner and prospector, has assumed the role Of book agent and is offering to his thousand and one friends. "The yolun- teer Soldier of America" by General John A. Logan.
 The responses already called forth by the announcement that General Lo- gan has completed his great work. The Volunteer soldier of Americs, indicate 6 genuine enthusiasm on the part of the public in general and the Grand Army ID particular, That the gifted Logan. himself the typical volunteer soldier of his time, should have assumed the tack Is a matter of congrstuls.ion to all.
 It was his last and best tribute to the one interest be loved mos;-the volun- ,eer soldier. The manuscript gIves every evidence of the most careful pre- parstion, and 1t woGld seem that illus- trious author must have had some knowledge of the feet that be was doing bis last service for the soldier when be wrote this wonderful story of vslor, for titude and herO-sm.
 "No more farinsting theme than that presented by ths i.izen of the United States. when, leaving the pursui of peaceful life, he arrays himself in the gsrb of the soldier snd takes the field in defense of country and principle. can be fund in any chapter of the worlds his tory. IL Is wholly safe to say that in hIs character of defender of rigbt and jus- tise, with no feature of the desooiler and opPressor aud his attributes of lofty patriotism, of unsrlish. intieIible and enduring courage, of patience under sui feriDg and of moderation under victory.
 nd finally of effectiveness in the dread perils, the suddsn surprises. and the capricious results of battle, he has had no faithful counterpart in any age of the world.

A Perilous Postpouement.

To postpone, when the duty for im- mediate action IS clear. IS slvsys uD- wise. Especially is it so when i1cress- ing i'll health calls for 6 resort to medi- cation. Diseases of the kidneys and bladder are often of swift grovth-sl- ways of fstsl tendency if not combstted at the outset We have all-even those of us who are not remarkably well in structed-heard something of the dan ger attending Bright's disease, diabetes. and other diseases of the kidneys or bladder. Let DO one be foolhardy enough to procrsstinste if he perceives the real organs to be inactive. Hostet- ter's Stomach Bitters are peculiarly adapted to overcome this irsction, to sufficiently stimulate. without exciting. the kidney and bladder. Infinitely is this oiuretic to be preferred to the i'm pure and fiery stimulsnts of commerce, which prove the bsne of upwary persons with tendency to renal troubles. They are likewise ineomparsble for dyspepsia, debility. fever and sgue, and bilious uaEa.

Mrs. Langtry's CoInure-

It is feared that there will be another madly universal copying of Mrs. Langtry's coiffure. How we suffered before with the -Langtry knot exposing. by its simplicity, heads whose chronological developments only a Fowler could enjoyi But this style is even worse. Don't women know that a shapely head is almost the rarest of beautiesi There should be poll tax levied upon those who thus offend the public eye.

Jim Ash has s7 900 Almost in Sight.
 Almost everybody in Los Angeles knows James H. Ash, or Jim" Ash, ss he WAS fsmilisrlg called. Yesterday he received & letter which, if authentic, puts biin in possession of the neat sum of s75,OO0. The story IS ss follows: In 1880 Ash was working in Tombstone, Arizons, and had for frit nd and con- psnIon 6 man from Georgia named Geo. Harding. The couple resembled esch other very much and were called the Two Brothers. Luck came Ash's way and be acquired about S9Oo0 ID cash. Fortune did not smile upon Hard
 ing, and therefore he decided to go on a prospecting tour and try to discover Q mine. Ash staked his friend to horse. pack animals and a complete outfit and sent him on his way rejoicing It was the understanding thst Ash WAS to be part owner in whatever Harding found. Time passed, and Ash came to Los Angeles. lie heard nothing from Hard- ing until about three months ago, when he received letter from Harding stst- ing that be had discovered fine mine in Sonora, and was negotiating for its sale. He thought little of the matter until yesterday be got @ letter from Harding stating that he had sold the mine for sl50,OO0 cash. and would be in Los. Angeles Friday with S75OO0, the share of Ash, which be would turn over to that gentleman. Jim" was receiv- ing numerous congratulations from a number of friends, all of whom hope the news will prove true.-L. A. Herald.

Strange Mexican City.

The city of GusnRi in Mexico it IS said would never have been built but for the mines, IL is crowded into R nar- row detile seven miles long by about one quarter of mile wide. In some places a store can be thrown from hill to hill over the city. Street cars, drawn by four mules, leave the station at the mouth of the ravine and climb until they come to the upper end of the ely, where ihe rsvine stops abruptly against the mountain The streets are so nhr- TOW that letter box would be SD ob- struction if fastened to the side of the building in the usual way. SO this usual institution IS provided for by chiseliDg a hole for it in the wall. On the main street, which follows the center line of the rsvine, tbere is room for two vehi- cles to pass each other. but the most of the thoroughfsres are only psssable for burros. A double track IS impossible. and the single street car line is operated by series of switches and by the al- most constant footing of horns. which the drivers carry hung about their pecks.

A Ghastly Find

Yesterday sftetnoon H. F. Hughes, whose home IS at Williams Springs. just this side of the Boston Mill, but who is now working under contract on the Tovnsite mine, came into town ID quest of SD officer, stating that bis boy had just arrived from tbe Springs and told him that his little daughter had found. about eiIty yards from the house. the skull of child and h4d brought 1t into the house, not knowing what it was. The inmates oftbe house st once ssked the child where she had found the skdll, and the rhild answered by leading them to the place where, in searching around they discovered the trunk of the child, and also the skeleton of a man with his boots on. hidden un- der some brush. The boots from all sp- pearances had not been worn much, and from their style. had been made to order, being long and narrow, with Q box toe. The two bodies were found close to- Rether, covered only by some loose brush, ss if they had been hurriediy buried.
 On Mir. Hughes arrival in town he st once sought out SD officer and chanced to meet Justice Shesrer on the street, to whom he stated thd above facts, Judge Shea-er at once sent for District Attorney English and asked his advice ID the matter. Mir, English advised the Judge (who under the new statute IS the coroner,) 10 summon 8 jury of six men and proceed to the scene of the finding of the skeletons. The Judge st once summoned q jury, and. together with Dr. Dunn, the Ooun- ty Physician. left this morning at five o'clock for the sc:ne of the reported murder.-Prospector.

The Lot ofa Sfatrou.

To the woman who begins right the lot of Q matron will be happy one; but the average young woman does not begin right She begins by being furiOusly in love, and the very warmth of her emotion causes it to cool very quickly. She begins by imagining that Benedict means all the world to her, and she to him, only to find out that she shares his heart with billiards. race horses and other luxuries. The wise woman recognizes this, and concludes not to be as disappointing as bis other loves-not to require as much deli cate nursing as does billiard ball, nor to go lame in mind or body, as favorits racer is likely to do. Not to let Benedict know her plans too entirely, and so she will not get to be an old story to him. A man is very hu- man; he likes his wife to be like the French feuilleton, worth having after each chapter, ~To be continued in our next Women are apt to forget this, and only remember that marriage is an episode rather than an event; a very great difference exists between them ~Bab- in New York Star

Commissioner van DvSs yesterday afternoon, but was only rsrtially heard owing to the occupancy pT tha Commissioners time by otne. yoatters. The only witness on behalf or tIa nrosecution was James Duly, who tss.idsd to an alleged conversation De- ,Sean himself and Mr. Mcqueen at Na- .,o,aI Oitv. Witness stated that about a ynonth ago Mir. McQueen told him that vas detective hunting the Arizons trsin robbers and that he knew t"0 Oi ,ba men. who were ID National Olty' but would not ssy who they were. 1niS was the substance of the testimony ih- troduced st this time by the prosecution Inv whose consent the following were sl- lowed to testify ss to the good character of Mcqueen; Thomas Martin Horace Appel and Fl. D. Underwood. These witnesses were in the courtroom and had not been summoned, but were known to have been cognizaut of MT. McOueen's standing in Anzona The hearing was continued until lO o'clock this morning.
 MT. McOueen raid that he was in this city when the train robbery took place, and this was a matter which will be proven to-day. He registered st the Pico House on the 18th of April, and was known to be in this city until after the robbery. He had attended the Grand Opera House during the Wsrde engagement about that time, and at no time had he concealed his movements He had known the sO-called detective Marphv at National City. where that individual was working Tn the railroad yards ohAin-gRng. Murphy had told him the very day that he got there that he WAS working on the case. Mir. Me Oneen said that he had been in Nation al City a month, and at no time had his movements been hidden. The Times had stated that he had been captured ID ''den." This was not so. He was ar rested at the International Hotel, where he had been stopping. He also stated that Murphy had not been m tne employ of the railroad as a detective. When the tune came he would be able to prove who and what he had been ever since the time he was X boy. He was very complimen.ary to Mir. MaDnon for his treatment while at the county jail. and said that he had been treated like a gentleman,
 So far there is nothing iu the case which appears to be at sll against Mir Mr. McQueen's character, and his s'- 'orneY is very confident that he will dis prove all charges that have been brought Il. A. Herald.

eAx DE NEWSPAPER WRITERS.
JournaIism Does Not Compare Unfavor-
 abIx with Other Professions

s.nrnaIi.m Does Not Compare Unfavor-
 abIy with Other Professions
 Ever since newspapers had an existence the poverty of the newspaper writer has been nroverb. The cause of this is mystery, but {, Drohably lies in the fact that barely cen- tury ago a newspaper was an expensive and caneralIy a foolish experiment, while the lawyer. the minister and the doctor had their financial status and assured income.
 The subject Is discussed intelhgently in that sble organ of newspaper men, The Journalist, which takes the obvious, but unusual. ground that newspapar work Is as well paid today as tbe work of any other trade or profession This is true. as every newspaper man knows who stops to think. Thousands of young doctors. ministers and lawyers are struggling for a chance to live, but a reporter with any ability and industry can get Sl5 week, which is twice as much as bare support re- quires
 Nor does journalism compare unfavorably with other professions as to the higher prizes of skill and mental equipment. The competi- ton for these Is sharp, and it would be much .harper were 1t not for the incorporate hahits of SO many talented fellows, who are proud to call themselves @Bohemians.' and who rapidly drop out of sight in the survival of the Attest
 There are some hundreds of newspaper writers in this country who receive a salary of $500 apiece, not counting proprietors who frequently become rich through their newspapers alone; and as to saving and ac- cumnllting, the class of writers above emu merated will compare favorably with the leaders of any guild. It would not be diff cult to mention 100 American newspaper writers who are today worth s25, 900 apiece, and have made it exclusively from the result of savings from their salaries, and the full list would doubtless aggregate several times aS many.
 Successful journalism demands peculiar qualities, but The Journalist is correct in de claring that, for the young man who pos s~ses them, there is no human field thai offers more attractions Washington Post.

The FIippant Young srsn.

One day an emissary of the Salvation army handed my friend a card on which were print ed words to the effect that the wicked would perish, and added to this statement were few words of admOnition- This flippant young man hastily recalled the giver and said;
 See here, you have delivered this to the wrong address. Let me see your pack"
 Then, taking heap of cards from the as tonished emiSsary, he selected one which said tho good would be rewarded
 SThis Is the one that was meant for me, he said- That one about the wicked was meant for my friend You ought to be more care ful how you scatter these cards about"
 T am afraid" said the emissary gently, ai the pack of cards were returned, that you are not treading the straight and narrow way.r
 ~Wen, not at the present moment . said the young man, @but I came down that way, and expect to go back, which is worse luck.-- Luke Sharp in Detroit Free Press.
